Which outcome occurs when an undersized accumulator responds to fluctuating demand?

💡 Explanation

Pressure fluctuations increase downstream because load demand exceeds accumulator volumetric capacity, causing Helmholtz resonance. This resonance amplifies pulsating pressure rather than dampening it, therefore creating instability immediately downstream, rather than starvation or gross inefficiency which might occur later.
